This is the original puzzle of [implicit-directors]:
W=6x6&L=(2)3(0)15(1)7(3)10&LF=z2z3z8z8z2z9&SS=14ULLURURDRRURDDLDLDRRDLLLLLURUR&G=implicit-directors&A=PinkHoodie&D=2024-03-23&F=2&T=Outstart

To celebrate the Kudamono Implementation, @PinkHoodie made two classics, one smaller and one harder:

W=6x6&L=x0(3)1x4y1y4(0)7(1)1y7y4x1(3)4x1&LF=z4z9z9z2z3z4&SS=9DRRULULURRRDRDDLDLDLLULUUR&G=implicit-directors&A=PinkHoodie&D=2024-03-28&F=2&T=Bands_for_Pointers

Plus a minimal 5x5 (unique puzzle with the fewest possible clues):

W=5x5&L=(2)9(1)3&LF=z4z3z3z3z11&SS=22ULULLDLDDDRURURDDRUU&G=implicit-directors&A=PinkHoodie&D=2024-03-29&F=2&T=Foalods
